"Sexism in its smallest forms. Whether it's a friend saying she doesn't want to have a baby girl because of drama, or others on FB posting sexist comments about women in general.
I also hate it when I reply to those posts and I'm…"

"It really is wonderful, how much the pious seem to know what god wants. I mean I imagine them waiting for god to come to them in the wee hours of the morn, with chocolate and strawberries in hand. But every morn, god never comes. So they get sad. In…"

"I work with collections and so when I'm talking to people they are from all over. They say things like that and I just say "you too". Sure it annoys me to have someone assume I'm Christian but usually they mean well enough and I…"

"I never try to "win" anyone over. I was not won over by anyone. It took a great many years for me to progress to where I am now and for me to claim that I "brought someone over" would be foolishly thinking that I can think for…"

"I agree. I don't think children should get holidays for religious faiths, period. But all in all that's the least of my concerns with our school boards. But it does make me sigh.
Ps here in California the kiddies did not get that…"

"Let's start by defining what a soul mate is. Well you'd really have to define what a soul is.
I've always thought of a soul as a persons energy. A computers energy is electricity, eh? But a computers energy is not it's…"

"I can't help myself on general stuff like that. If you post it I have a right to reply and I would. I would just say my piece and be done though cuz those religious types will try to get you any way they can, even with vocal violence."

"I like the " god created the iphone for that purpose" bit. To me she just sounds like a silly little girl who is looking for approval from her "peers" and ta da, the message. Now will someone ask her how she knows he is in hell…"

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.
— Nietzsche

"People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it’s true, or because they’re afraid it might be true. Peoples’ heads are full of knowledge, facts and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool."- Zedd. The Wizards First Rule.

Atheism is interesting to me because I get to be an induvidual who is responsible for my own morality. I get to disagree with things that Christians just seem to accept, like monogomy, homosexuality etc. I find the real joy in being able to think about my own morality is when I can just drop all of my preconcived notions and just think, regardless of whether or not my ideas and thoughts are morally acceptable.

Holy--! How had I never taken that Nietzsche quote in this context before? WOW. That seems so obvious now, and I feel kinda dumb. But also enlightened, so thanks for that. Sorry, this is really random. Also hi.
